The entire west-facade of the upper floor is glazed, the living room, the dining area and the kitchen are placed there. From the staircase a ramp leads to the living area which highlights a stunning view. The master bedroom and two rooms for the children are south oriented also in the first floor. All those rooms are connected with the terrace over which you are able to reach the private garden and the pool. Important was a connection between the inside and the outer space, a direct link from the staircase to the garden is given.

The building is located in the north of the site, considered the existing water filament. As the building is situated it generates a big free space in the south. The outer space is zoned in different areas. In the northwest the forecourt as a public space is situated. The cantilevered building covers the entrance of the house.
